Application of AHP Method Based on Competence for Determining the Best Graduate Students

Abstract

Each university is expected to produce graduates who have competence both in knowledge, skill and attitude so that they can compete in the world of work. In determining the best graduates with competency criteria is very difficult because there must be clear criteria and subcriteria and definite weight in the ranking process to determine the best graduates. For that needed a method in decision making, method applied is method Analytical Hierarcy Process (AHP). The AHP method is a method in which each criterion (assessment factors) and the alternatives (student) will be compared with other students in order to provide an output of priority intensity values resulting in a system that provides an assessment of each student. The results of these studies will be used as a reference in making decisions in determining the best graduate students.
